The New York Times just published an article about a medical device made by a major American pharmaceutical.  This device was approved prematurely and has caused many individuals to be crippled.  I bring this up because as you all know I invented a medical device that treats hemorrhoid pain at home.  Because Anuleaf AD is an adhesive device, it requires FDA registration and review.  What it doesn’t require is FDA approval, which is given to companies with high-risk products like the hip-replacement device discussed in the New York Times article “Group Faults FDA on Oversight of Devices.”

This unfortunate oversight by the FDA happened because there were existing hip-replacement devices that were considered to be enough like the new one to skip the usual steps that go into approving a high-risk device and thus speed up the process.

I thought this was a good opportunity to explain why we use the words “Compliant and Reviewed” when it comes to Anuleaf AD and the FDA.  As we are classified as a non-significant risk device, we do not require years of clinical trials for approval.  Anuleaf AD still needs to comply with all the FDA manufacturing and labeling practices set forth by the FDA’s Medical Devices Regulations.  This is not, by the way, the case with hemorrhoid medications made with herbal ingredients sold on the Internet. These are not regulated or reviewed at all.

I hope this helps clarify a little for you, the consumer, the major differences between a product that is high-risk and one like Anuleaf AD, which is considered a non-significant risk device.  If you still have any questions about this topic please ask us.

I am a busy mom and, of course, as I had mentioned before I have struggled with hemorrhoids.  As you already know I am pregnant, just beginning my second trimester.  This weekend was a nightmare because I got a hemorrhoid flare-up when I least expected. I had just recovered from a stomach virus and between that and all the things that makes us pregnant women get hemorrhoids, I managed to get one of the most vicious hemorrhoid attacks I have had in years.  I confirmed once again the reason for using the phrase “hemorrhoid attack,” as it came fast and seemingly unannounced while I was having a very nice family dinner with my husband, some friends and my five year old.

I had not brought Anuleaf AD with me as I had not suspected that a full-blown hemorrhoid inflammation was on the horizon.  I am a hemorrhoid relief expert so I gathered my strength and took charge, knowing the only thing I could do was do some Kegels—anal contractions done rhythmically that bring blood flow to the area—and hope for the best. I did around 120 Kegels, and they helped alleviate the pain, which I was grateful for. I could still feel the pressure in the area but this did take away the pinching pain.  When I got home I put on Anuleaf AD and put my feet up while I watched an HBO show. A few hours later the throbbing had gone but I kept Anuleaf AD on overnight because the inflammation had not completely subsided.  This time, I only used one strip of the product on the side where I could feel the pain.  The next day, I was better, had bran cereal, stayed away from white breads and went back to my veggies and fruits.  I went to bed early the rest of the weekend days and I think this was key.

Hemorrhoids are not going to kill you, but they have a way of spoiling good moments in your life in a way almost no other condition can.  For those of you out there who like me have a busy life and no time to suffer from hemorrhoid pain and inflammation, I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions or have a story you want to share with us.

Internet hemorrhoid medications that give hemorrhoid sufferers false information should be spanked by the FDA! The problem is that the FDA has no time to check on these scam artists and thus they continue to make money while preying on vulnerable people who are in pain and want a fast hemorrhoid remedy.

Pills with horse-chestnut should not claim they can take hemorrhoid inflammation away in 48 hours and to back this you can read the article the New York Times wrote about Horse Chestnut and venous insufficiency. Horse chestnut has been found to be toxic if ingested in its’ raw form. However, even when it is processed correctly studies have found over and over again, that it takes 16 weeks to take leg venous insufficiency away.  When you add the fact that hemorrhoids are simply veins and that they are increasingly affected by the pressure of the body and the muscles when walking, you may begin to realize that horse chestnut may not be the 48 hour miracle cure these companies claim. To top it off, these medications are super expensive, and this is because they are sold by affiliates–people other than the wholesaler, who need to do all the marketing. When I say expensive, I mean from $40.00 to over $100.00 dollars.

Instead, if you are suffering from severe hemorrhoid pain or simply a prolapsed hemorrhoid, you can try Anuleaf AD.

Fiber is an important nutrient that your body needs in order to achieve hemorrhoid relief, but sometimes we get confused with labels in supermarkets that say “Added Fiber” or “Great Source of Dietary Fiber”.

There terms: Soluble and Insoluble fiber are obsolete. In the supermarket when you see in the labels the term “Dietary Fiber” it usually means  the sum of both types of fibers –soluble and insoluble, which are essential to our health. Also important to know is that fiber supplements usually serve as laxatives but don’t offer the overall nutrition that is provided in whole foods.

The terms “Dietary Fiber” also means that the fiber has been engineered in order to highlight certain specific qualities. However the fiber has been engineered, it is important for you to know that you need both types of fibers (soluble and insoluble), and that depending on your sex, caloric intake, age and weight your dietary fiber requirements vary.

It’s important to eat the right amount of fiber to maintain healthy bowel movements in order to prevent or relieve conditions such as diarrhea or constipation which usually lead to hemorrhoids.

Pineapple is a tropical fruit originally from South America. It is rich in manganese and vitamin C. Pineapple also contains fiber, vitamin B1, B6 and copper. One cup of pineapple (100 grams) provides 50 calories, 1.4 grams of fiber and 0.54 grams of protein.

Pineapple is rich in bromelain, which helps digestion and also has anti-inflammatory effects that help to reduce swelling in conditions such as sore throat, gout, arthritis and sinusitis. In order to aid swelling it is recommended to eat it alone between meals, otherwise its enzymes will be directed to digestion.

When buying pineapple, choose one that is heavy for its size, and its color is more yellow than green. You can store it at a room temperature and it will last around two days.

I am pregnant for my third time and had a very bad episode of skin itching all over the body.  I left my daughter and husband watching “Hop” and went to the Emergency Room hoping they wouldn’t think I was off my rocker.  I have had this problem before when I wear spandex or what I think are stretchy rubbery type fabrics, but now it was happening with wool and it was severe.  I had ruled out dry skin because I had been very good at applying cream to my skin in the last weeks.

The doctor and nurses in the Emergency Room told me they had seen this before, the doctor’s wife who was also pregnant had also had it and the nurse said she had suffered from it also.  As I am writing this article I am feeling itchy!  The doctor recommended benadryl and made some blood tests to rule out other possible conditions.  The benadryl helped, however I was later happy to get home and put some cotton sweat pants and a soft cotton t-shirt.  I felt the immediate relief of the material on my skin and found the solution to my problem.  Apparently being pregnant brings many changes some pleasant and others like this one not so comfortable.  I am able now to avoid this problem by not wearing wool or better yet sticking to silk and cotton.  I had to go and spend a little money on more clothes but it was worth it.  I am at peace.  So if you have had this problem please share with us your story as so many of us feel singled out when these things happen.

A few days ago, I heard a story from a close family member worth sharing with you. She said she was suffering from hemorrhoids and when she went to the doctor, he recommended she undergo hemorrhoid surgery and said recovery time would be around a year.

I was astounded to hear that she had no pain or real symptoms, the hemorrhoid was on stage two which means it was protruding slightly but she didn’t have pain or bleeding. Every Proctology textbook recommends surgery only for thrombosed or ulcerated hemorrhoids, not for slightly inflamed ones that have no real symptoms. What was more alarming was the year of recovery, which made me wonder what kind of surgery this doctor was intending to perform. The usual recovery time that doctors tell their patients is two to three weeks but of course it can take a few more weeks – but not a year.

What someone in this situation needs to do is to include more fiber in her diet, drink water regularly, take time to de-stress, use a drug-free ointment to soothe friction during bowel movements and take warm baths. If he or she suffers from tightness in the anal area, she could also benefit from Anuleaf AD. This product will allow for better blood flow and revert the vein back to the anal wall.

Some Doctors are too eager to do a proceed with surgery in order to make money and don’t take you or your health into consideration.  Hemorrhoid Surgery is known as one of the most painful surgeries if not the most painful.  Only in cases where home remedies and other treatments don’t work should someone resort to a hemorrhoid surgery.

It is recommended you talk to other people that have undergone hemorrhoid surgery so that you can evaluate whether in your case it is necessary.  You should also get a second opinion with a specialist or a general practitioner so that you can make a better decision.  It is very possible that you can make changes and treat the condition with home use hemorrhoid products so that you avoid surgery.  Remember surgery does not guarantee a complete hemorrhoid cure.

Grapes are a good source of polyphenols, which include resveratrol, flavonoids and phenolic acids. These nutrients have antioxidant properties that help protect against heart disease, lower cholesterol, macular degeneration, Alzheimer, kidney disorders and asthma.

Grapes provide manganese, vitamin C and B6, thiamine, potassium, fiber and riboflavin. One cup (151 grams) of grapes provides 104 calories, 1.4 grams of fiber and 1.09 grams of protein. On the other hand, if you are suffering of hemorrhoid or constipation, grapes are considered a soft laxative as they tone up the stomach and intestine. It’s recommended to eat them with the skin and seeds because most of their nutrients are concentrated there. People who suffer from diabetes should control the intake of grapes due to their high content of sugar.

Select grapes that are plump and firmly attached to the stem. You can keep them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for several days.
